7. It has widely, and mistakenly, been reported that the Biden team gets $9.9 million

The total appropriation is $9.9 million, of which $6.3 is designated for the incoming administration:

"GSA has requested a budget allocation of $9,900,000 for transition activities in the FY 2021 budget request, of which $6,300,000 would be for a new incoming Administration. This funding will be managed on behalf of a new President-elect and Vice President-elect, and specifically becomes available when the Administrator ascertains an apparent winner of the general election that is not the incumbent"

4. Such a snowflake.

Poor little Emily. So much whining, so little time.

I do not believe for one minute she wasn’t pressured by people in The White House.

5. Only the first and last paragraphs are pertinent. The rest: TL;DR

6. $6.3 M seems like a small amount?

8. Slightly more than in 2017

In 2017, the amount appropriated was $9.5 million, with $6 million for the incoming administration's costs.
